I plan on replacing it, but I'm not sure what clicking you're referring to? I didn't hear any

In your video each time you try to start it there is a very rapid clicking sound! Sounds like something is shorting out. Often when a battery is so dead that it can't turn over the engine at all, the starter relay will click or the starter itself sometimes. So, you don't hear the very rapid clicking in your own video when it is "hesitating" to start?

Sooo, you should fund out where that's commin from. But at any rate, if you keep replacing batteries and starters and you still have the issue to no avail, you might have a loose connection or short somewhere. It's weird that it clicks like that, but still turns over. Usually if it were clicking due to low voltage it wouldn't even turn over. So that's why I'm thinking loose connection or short at this point. A loose connection could cause it to lose power then get it back very rapidly over and over, causing that clicking sound and your starting problems. Basically a short somewhere would cause the same thing as well. Find where the clicking is comming from first, because that could very well be your short. Have someone else turn the car over while you look around if you have to.

You can buy replacement terminal bolts at the auto parts store for about $2
